[Beginner] Is there free data feed?

[jk90029]

I stand corrected, Yahoo Finance used to have real-time data only from BATS but now also features real-time data from NYSE and NASDAQ.

Thanks for helpful reply.
I should choose roughly 300 (at most 500) good equities, for my personal logic. (Not interested in option/future+commodity+else) Possibly some of them are SnP500.

I wonder if BATS is related to my good(???) 500 equities.

DTN IQ Feed is one of the cheapest. $75 per month it is not something a real-time trader should not be able to afford:

It has some cons, but it is cheap and for begining affordable at least to try. Good data feed would start from $1k per month.

For the option/future traders, it is worth to pay substantial amount for the feed.

However I am strictly equity trader who has a trading logic with 5-min or possibly 15-min.

The amount of $15 a month is equal to $200 a year. For the next 50 years, 50*200=10K will be compounded over long time.

Wrong. $15 *12 (months) * 50 (years) = 9K.
If you make every month $100 profit you will have net 51K profits after 50 years.
What are you waiting for?

The above link https://help.yahoo.com/kb/finance/SLN2310.html?impressions=true
might be my best choice, in my personal situation for my trading logic.

And simple R commands is already available as below, and furthermore it covers worldwide. (DO NOT pay to every countries)

install.packages("quantmod")
library(quantmod)
getSymbols("MSFT",from ="1990-01-01",to="2014-08-28")
head(MSFT)

Multiple subscription is also available

NY <- new.env()
tickerNY <-c("ABT" , "ABBV" , "ACE" , "ZION" , "ZTS") ##SnP 500개
tickersWW <- c("8301:JP", "DBK:GR", "GOOGL:US", "RR/:LN", "AIG:US")
getSymbols(tickerNY, src="yahoo" , env=NY , from="2014-01-01")


I should be appreciated with worldwide service by yahoo/google.

Thanks. But there is some possibility in Excel MACRO that may have hidden contents.
Most traders prefer clear program (with NO MACRO), such as free R or Python

you can get free" real-time data would be if you have a brokerage account with a broker that provides the data at no cost to the client. TD Ameritrade and E*Trade do for example. TDA has an API available. You can use the broker's own tools to display the data, or you can get Medved Trader for it:
http://www.medvedtrader.com

right now we don't have an API, but will in the future, which will allow you to access any data that MT has access to, via MT's API, thus avoiding the need to write to different APIs or situations where an API is not available

You do NOT have to provide API.

Every(?) broker provides web-trading. If you do, we can use Selenium to access your webpage easily.
